Member of Parliament for Ashiaman Ernest Henry Norgbey would be introduced as candidate of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) in 2020 Parliamentary election after the burial of his late contender, Emmanuel Max-Voy.
General Secretary of the party made this known at a press conference when he declared that the incumbent MP would run unopposed, as the MP would be advised to organize a gathering at the constituency to be introduced.
When announcing preparations done ahead of Saturday 24th August 2019 primaries, he noted that, there would be no election conducted in the Ashiaman constituency.
“We reopen nominations when Emmanuel Max-Voy pass away so that whoever was ready to contest comes out and pick forms, reason being for fairness because some other person did not pick forms because the late Max-Voy was contesting, we reopen nomination for two days”.
Mr. Johnson Aseidu Nketia told journalists at a press conference at the party head office that after reopening for two days last week no one had picked forms.
“We had to extend reopening to this week Monday because on radio stations people called in and complained that the constituency executives were not at post at the office, hence the reopening this Monday all day no one came up to pick forms to contest”.
